Field Notes

Habitat:

On the 'creek' off the Gambia river at Makasutu Forest

Notes:

Saw this one swim down at the other side of the creek and then clamber out onto an old dock just past us. It obligingly stayed for pictures. When I mentioned I had seen it, they told us they had never seen one there before, only had bought and released one caught by a local 10 years previously.. Unfortunately, when we all went back it had gone.

Great series. Isn't it wonderful when your subject cooperates? :-)
